MadeInMilwaukeeâ€¦ can we put the d.o.c. on that list?i know he is from texas but he influenced the west coast.
still got that bizarre ride to the pharcyde cd.one of the greatest albums ever.

Quik was always good in my book.when he was getting interviewed in that rap magazine that fell the fuck off a few years back the nigga said”i wanna go see the south bronx”i was with him since.even after tim dog dissed him.

^ Him and Quik had one of the most entertaining battles in hip-hop history.
^^^^
Co-signâ€¦they both had ill diss recordsâ€¦.
What did it even start over I heard it was just a gang issue

whats up fam
*daps nahright familia*
E-40, mac dre, rydah j. klyde, yuckmouth, the mob figas are my favorite from the bay/the remix to i got 5 on it is the shit and he video was on some budget shit also

Those videos would get laughed at today, but They actually made since in regards to the song

^^Co-sign. I preferred hip-hop vids back in the early to mid 90’s anyways. ‘I Got 5 On It’ was a budget video but a classic, when them nigs is gettin chased outta that house into they car and then peelin with all the smoke comin out the windows, thats top bollocks material right there. ‘Juicy’ was a great video. Any NWA vid from back in the day was a great video, Snoop ‘Whats My Name’ was a great video. Cos back then it was’nt about how many diamond chains you had on, it was about gettin your whole hood or crew together and gettin battered for a video.

^ It was about making good music and having a good time. Now everbody has to lie about there money and brag on shit that has nothing to do with mic skills.

^ Thats the thing though, you can’t past judgement without listening. You can’t be closed minded. Theres a lot of other people making good music. I like to people you named as well, but I bump good music from any region.

that kinda shit makes it hard for me to read your comments or even check for rappers you co-sign
^^^^
I’m just messing with you(no being tampered with) but you got to keep an open mind when you listen to music

>> Thats the thing though, you canâ€™t past judgement without listening. You canâ€™t be closed minded. Theres a lot of other people making good music.

you make a good point. that’s more reasonable. thing is i fucking feel like ripping my hair out when i hear young jeezy rapping over a mannie fresh beat and dudes acting like that shit is hip hop. a bongo doesn’t make you a fucking producer

and for e-40, okay the dude seems to hold weight in the waste west, but who doesn’t. aren’t people waiting on a spirder joke album like crazy

>> Iâ€™m just messing with you(no being tampered with) but you got to keep an open mind when you listen to music

i guess, but i keep my mind open when real MC’s are painting pictures with words man, not that other shit. they don’t realise it when they’re writing it, but their shit isn’t that hot. even if you’re talking about your block. so what, it’s the same everywhere. the heads of all the companies want you to focus on that gutter, and go give your money thinking your giving to the poor, but fuck they’re making you look away as they make millions. they know that shit isn’t hot. (i crossed over into another kind of music, but you know what i mean)

Now everbody has to lie about there money and brag on shit that has nothing to do with mic skills.

^So true, ‘Niggas talkin it but ain’t livin it’ (c) Big Poppa. I remember when that little nigga from Cali came out with that ‘I wish’ joint, ‘I wish that I could be a baller, I wish that I was 6 feet taller’ or some such shit, the nigga was pokin fun at himself. Biggie on One More Chance Remix described himself as ‘Fat, Black and Ugly as ever’. Niggas was able to laugh at themselves then, show me one nigga around now apart from maybe Redman who would do that?

On the E-40 issue, I copped his first joint from way back, the one where he’s on the front with bags of money with US POST on or it or some shit. I could’nt fuck with the nigga then and ain’t shit changed.

^ I speak for myself when I say that Jezzy ain’t a great rapper, he just put together a good 1st album. It dosen’t make him lyrical. It’s hip-hop, just not the hip-hop your used to. The drums and horns in a lot of that old Cash Money shit is pretty good it you check it out. The production on “400 Degrees” is crazy.

^ That was “Mail Man”. He was still kinda raw then, as far as development. He was at his peak around “Hall Of Game” and “In A Major Way”. He killed Rasheed Wallace and AZ on “Record Haters”.

>> Be honest, Kweli hasnâ€™t made a great album sinceâ€Qualityâ€. That Juve album IS better than his last 3 albums.

maybe in your eyes, but thereâ€™s no way in hell that that a new Juvie album, produced by motherfucking mannie fresh, is going to be better than Eardrum.

(no Two-Times/Herbal Kint on this whole discussion)

^ Truth is the truth. Kweli been bullshiting lately. That “Liberation” joint was cool, but everything before that was lukewarm at best. You seem to be hell bent on disregarding Fresh. I’m sure you havent even heard a Juvie album all the way through.

Speakinâ€™ of Sauce, I hope Stretch post some old freestyles up of his. Back when I had Audiogalaxy, I had madd Sauce freestyles. He murked Mobb Deepâ€™s â€œGetawayâ€ beat.
